Amy Winehouse

1
I was perplexed about her friends Juliette and Lauren not even being mentioned. Nick her first manager wasn't either. Amy's gravestone had names of her friends engraved in a marble book on her grave and they were all absent. Have they fallen out with her family because they contributed to the 'Amy' documentary? Very sad whatever the cause.
It’s really odd. Some was asked and others not. I think they wanted a nice version for the 10 year thing. Mitch will never take responsibility for what happened and Janis was always the yes person for amy. 10 years have gone so fast though.
 
Has anybody else got any amy dedicated tattoos? I have the bird and ‘never clip my wings’ like her on the inside of my arm where your arm bends. That was tough to heal 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ If I’m honest though I’d have all the tatts she has but that would be weird as they are personal to her but they are so completely my style I absolutely love them
 
I loved her. What a talent. Her dad is a piece of work though, definitely lived his fantasies though her-they should have got her into rehab sharpish at the first signs of drug abuse- but they were too busy pushing her to do gigs and promotion. RIP Amy.❤
What always gets me about people like BFC he was a druggie when he met her and was often fucked him in photos of them together and yet he has managed to outlive her and stay cleanish.

She would have been fine if he had of left her alone.

Always reminds me of when in trainspotting they get tommy on drugs and they all sort themselves out and he gets ill and dies.
 
Why are her friends' names engraved on her headstone anyway?

It’s strange isn’t it? I find it a bit tacky to be honest! And maybe this is me reading too much into it but it’s sad too, as it’s like she couldn’t even have a final resting place without people attaching themselves to her forever. A bit like in her life really 😔

Oh I love that, never clip my wings! 🕊 I don’t have any tattoos but I considered getting a pin-up, beehived Amy in the same sort of style as her Cynthia one! I also kind of wanted the one she had over her heart, the pocket with ‘Blake’s’ only with my fiancé’s name 😅

Aw that’s a really interesting take on the friends names - it rings true though. Sad

I would love both the same tattoos as you’ve said. Always toyed with the idea of the pocket one, I’d love to have the name Written too just like her tbh but knowing him as a person it would never be right
 
I've just watched the new documentary followed by Amy for the second or third time. She really was a legend. She was somebody you just wish you could shake and protect.


Blake is apparently now engaged to his new girlfriend of 6 months too.

No offense to her, but he would take anyone who would put up with his tit, now. He has few teeth and is a scruffy so and so. There was a lovely pic of him walking along drinking a Stella in a can the other day. He will always be a class act.
 
I just came across this is my phone gallery. It’s from the exhibition I went to a few years ago:

I wonder about her relationship with Mark Ronson. He obviously cared about her, made a record with her that is a future classic and seemed to bring out the best in her talent and writing. The record also made his career as well I think. As a friend I don’t think he had much influence over her especially with the drugs and alcohol and husband choices but it must be hard for him to think of how the third album could have been. When she sang with Tony Bennett she seemed so happy in the film. I remember watching it and being so sad for her friends and so cross with her dad. Her father and husband manipulated and abused her.

After writing Rehab she should have been put in rehab. The tortured artist trope should be dispensed with, Adele writes soulful songs and is perfectly happy with her life.
This is going way back in the thread I know but I just read the whole thing today.

I may be completely misremembering this but I believe I once read that Amy and Mark argued towards the end of her life because he was supposed to produce her third album but basically told her she was in no fit state to be recording.

He seems like one of the few of her friends/colleagues who was an actual friend and not just a hanger on/enabler.

He dedicated his last but one album to her, as well.
 
She was a fantastic performer and songwriter. A true one-off.
She was but I could never tell what she was saying 😂she was extremely talented though ❤

She was a bit lost on me too be honest, I never really got the hype about her. I can recognise a good singer/songwriter but at the same time be a bit “meh” about them. I quite like Tears Dry on Their Own
Loved that one 👍
